January is a time of reflection on the old and resolutions for the
new, right? At Narcissus, we used this time to look back over 2016 and
were filled with thoughts of amazingly found memories of celebrations
with our customers. Whether they were selecting flowers for an
anniversary, a thank you gift, a holiday centerpiece or the celebration
of a loved ones birthday, we enjoyed creating floral representations of
their love in each season of 2016. We thought we would share some of
those with you today and help inspire new beginnings of celebration for
2017!
Winter
- While Winter is not typically a season of abundance when it comes to
flowers, it is the perfect season to gift flowers because they are a
rare beauty during the coldest months. For Winter 2016, we selected
birch boxes as vessels, succulents to represent endurance and pale
colors in champagne, white and pink to complement the cold weather but
bring warmth to our customer's homes.
Spring
- Tulips are typically one of the first signs of spring, so they are an
obvious choice to celebrate new life and warmth in springtime. Orchids
are another favorite and with bright vibrant purples, pinks, reds and
greens, they bring a joyous spirit to everyone. We loved creating these
arrangements with classic springtime blooms, but giving them a modern
twist with little details, like berries and hand tied elements.
Summer
- Our favorite season here on the Jersey Shore, summer brings new life
to our area. For our 2016 Summer Florals, we brought lots of colors
together to shine bright and cheerfully. Yellows, Oranges, Blues, Greens
and Purples were all favorites. We also loved to showcase the Hydrangea
due to its depth of blooms and abundance in our area, paying tribute to
beautiful Jersey Shore summer nights.
Autumn
- For our autumn 2016 collection, we played with the contrast between
dark and light, cool and hot, much like the diversity we felt in weather
during those months. We loved the dark burgundy set with cool
blue-green foliage and the slightest touch of pink in this Antique Roses
and Hydrangea bouquet. Our Rose, Orchid and Berry Delight arrangement
brought another level of diversity with vibrant color. This one was
always fun to create with the delicate roses paired with the structured
orchid and berry. We picked two very different autumn bouquets here to
celebrate a season full of color and celebration.
We loved creating new, vibrant florals for you throughout 2016! We
thank all our customers for a wonderful year and wish you all many more
celebrations in 2017! Now to start brainstorming our 2017 collections :-)
